The greatest common factor, or GCF, is the greatest factor that divides two numbers. To find the GCF of two numbers: List the primefactors of each number. Multiply those factors both numbers have in common.

It is the biggest number that two numbers are divisible by.
For example, if you did 12 and 24
The factors of 12 are:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
The factors of 24 are:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24
Their greatest common factor would be 12 since, it is the greatest number that each number can be divisible by.
